Very best wishes Sam! 
You're a star 
! Without your naturally laid-back karma and sense of humour the place just wouldn't have been the same. I loved working with you and hope that you have many happy times ahead, I'm sure you will, you're such a lovely guy.
All the best, see you at one of your gigs.
Take care, I'll miss you.

Who's going to send me natty little notes with my picks now!

There is only one thing worse than being Gosho, and that is not being Gosho Posted Jan 15, 2004
I'm sure you've already heard from Ashley that Austin is the self-proclaimed 'Live Music Capital of the World' (a rather overblown claim I might add 
) If you ever get any gigs here there'll always be a place for you to stay at GoshoTowers... as long as you don't mind sleeping on the couch in the same room as the 
s
You know where to find me All the best mate

Well, you can't expect to leave a site founded by Douglas Adams without someone saying 'So Long and Thanks for All the Fish'. So there you go 
You're free now.

Good luck with the Will Sam be popping back onto the site now and then?

Oh my! Sam's leaving party 
is going well into the wee hours. 
It's 10:15 pm GMT by my reckoning and Natalie is still at her desk!
At least now that Sam is a 'free spirit' he can start rattling the Beebcages without fear of employer reprisals. His mission, to get audio elements working on this site. Maybe even the full blown h2g2-Radio he dreamed of and so many of us wish for.
Hmm... a link to Sam's songs?
And there's one called 'Thursday'?
Must have a listen.

We'll miss you Sam, but great to see you following your muse Hope to catch you at a gig somewhere, sometime. And not wanting to pressure you over much but when you get an oop North date the Flat Cap members will be on the front row cheering and heckling. Good natured banter only of course - you can trust us, we'd never take you to a big city and lose you in a busy shopping street. Ahem.
